I am moving right along on this training program and I feel great! I am a little nervous though because next week starts the base building, which means the workouts are going to increase in time and intensity. I always thought I was in good shape and now I am realizing that this is going to take me to a whole new level. Today when I looked at the training program and saw I needed to do a 60 minute run I was relieved, because that seemed easy and doable! HA! So, I ran 60 minutes on the treadmill because it was pouring rain outside. I ran a little over 6 miles and then had to immediately take Maggie to music class and to a doctor appointment so I didn't stretch or have a snack...by noon when we got home I was starving! I am eating a lot these days in order to fuel my workouts and not lose any weight. I have actually gained a couple pounds which was my goal!
I have yo-pi tonight which forces me to stretch and work on my core which makes me feel better with my other workouts. Its 45 min of power yoga and 30 min of pilates. I have been taking it since Maggie was a couple months old and I love it!
Thanks to some birthday money from my in-laws I bought myself a new suit from Athleta for working out and its great. I am doing my swim workouts with flip turns now and it allows me to get in the zone and tune out a little which makes the workouts go quickly! I really do love to swim once I get in the water, I dread the workouts because I don't want to get wet and deal with showering and drying my hair afterwards!
So Sunday begins week 5 of the training program, so I will see how these increased time in workouts fits into our schedule. I might have to start doing an early morning workout to fit everything in---yawn!
